Chapter 259 Hush Money

A hand blocked Peyton’s phone screen.

“Peyton, I guess you were really anxious at the moment, wanting to replace Miya and ask her about it.”

Kevin saw through Peyton’s thoughts at a glance. Peyton nodded.

“Yes, Kevin. All the misfortunes I’ve had in the past two years were brought about by Paula’s death. Iknow that me and him are never going to reconcile. But I’ve been trying hard to replace evidence. I justwant to slam the evidence in Nolan’s face and tell him that my dad is not that kind of person. He waswrong.”

Peyton couldn’t help but tug on Kevin’s sleeve. “Finally, I managed to replace a glimmer of hope. I…”

“Peyton, have you ever considered that this might be another trap luring you out?”

Kevin’s dark pupils were filled with seriousness. “Under your

guidance, Nolan has started to investigate his sister’s death again. The network that person hadpainstakingly built has long been dismantled. She is now reclaiming her pieces. Why did Miya leave sopublicly and abruptly?”

Peyton continued, “She was waiting for me to show up.”

“Yes.”

“You narrowly escaped death, disrupting her plans, and your only vulnerability, Mr. Schmitt, was alsorelocated by me in advance. She had no way to catch you anymore. So she did this.”

Peyton’s face darkened. “Yes, she was cunning.”

Thinking about how Dwayne wanted to trick her on their engagement day, Peyton bit her lip andpondered a plan.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up. “I thought of something.”

Kevin turned to look at her. “What’s wrong?”

“Since Nolan is investigating this matter, I will add fuel to the fire. Please pass this message to Nolanfor me. Whether it is true or false, let Nolan decide.”

Kevin nodded. “Alright. Peyton, I suddenly feel a bit uneasy. It seems like we need to leave early.”

Peyton hesitated for a moment and then replied, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

The only person she can trust now is Kevin.

Peyton took out the little bear phone watch from under the pillow. “You should have someone returnthis watch to Mrs. Chase. I can’t

handle her love.”

“Um.”

Kevin touched her head. “Rest well. I’ll go make some arrangements.”

“Okay.”

The Dalton family’s study.

Nolan once again swept the pile of documents in front of him onto the floor. He placed both hands onthe table, his expression turning ice- cold.

“Why haven’t you found Peytie yet?”

“Mr. Dalton, calm down. That area of the sea has been completely drained, even the water. If Mrs.Dalton had really died, she would have been discovered long ago. She is probably hiding somewhere.”

Nolan certainly knew that Peyton was hiding. But he would never harm her. Can’t she trust him either?

Since Peyton didn’t die, why didn’t she come to replace him?

Nolan thought about what he had found during this period. All the evidence pointed to one thing.

It is obvious that someone was deliberately framing Kason.

The pile of information in front of him was obtained through further investigation. However, theydiscovered many problems.

According to the previous information, Kason had abnormal relationships with many of the girls hesponsored.

Those girls who were said to have abnormal relationships with Kason either had personal issues or hadproblems at home.

They either liked gambling or had loose morals in their personal lives.

Lucian pushed the door open and handed over a form.

“The families of those women who previously claimed to have a connection with Mr. Schmitt received asum of money for no apparent reason. The amount ranged from 50,000 dollars to 150,000 dollars.”

Lucian glanced at Nolan’s expression. “And they all received the money within that year or two. Ireckon this money is hush money.”
